A couple of years ago the Saskatchewan Government changed from a paper to an online fishing licenses system which requires stable internet service which resulted in us deciding to no longer act as an authorized Angling License Vendor.

Angling Licenses can be purchased online prior to coming to the lake by clicking on our Buy A Sask Fishing License Link or at participating vendors in Goodsoil.

A word of advice: If you buy your fishing license online the night before heading to the lake you will save yourself valuable holiday/fishing time battling with our intermittent wifi or standing in a store lineup waiting for someone to check their loto tickets.

How to Leave Your Cabin or Campsite:

1) When you arrive your cabin or campsite will be ready for your immediate occupation, when you leave we ask that you leave it clean and tidy:

4) The fire pits are provided to allow you to barbecue safely and socialise with friends around a warm fire - please treat them with respect. Anyone found to be mistreating equipment provided may be charged for replacement.

We take pride in our environment and it is important for us that it is respected so that all may enjoy it.

Respect Our Environment and Wildlife:

Meadow Lake Provincial Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including: Moose, Elk, Whitetail Deer, Black Bear, Wolves, Coyotes, Red Fox, Lynx, Fisher, Ermine, Beaver, Otter, Porcupine, as well as rare and interesting birds such as Bald Eagles, Grey Owls, Great Horned Owls, Peregrine Falcons, Turkey Vultures, Pileated Wood Peckers, Whooping Cranes, Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Pelicans, Ruffled Grouse, Snow Geese, Loons and at least 150 other species of birds. It is their home. We are just visitors, so please respect their forest - pick up your rubbish, do not tempt them into a dangerous situation by leaving out your garbage or even worse, feeding them. Yes, I have caught someone feeding a bear on their deck! AND PLEASE - NO FIREWORKS - they are terrifying to animals and you are the visitor to their home.

Almost all of the watershed west of Lac Des Iles is either inside Meadow Lake Provincial Park or inside the Primrose Air Weapons Range, and the developed land south of the park actually drains into the Beaver River. This has protected Lac Des Iles from both industrial and farm run off so her waters remain unsullied and pure. Beginning in the seventies, Saskatchewan stopped allowing campsites on the water's edge and required all water used in the Park to be hauled out. This policy has also helped protect Lac Des Iles.

The Cold River runs into Lac Des Iles and the Waterhen runs out, which aerates the lake and keeps her fish healthy and strong. The Northern Pike are unlike anything you will angle in Alberta or Saskatchewan's more southern lakes (our sons actually prefer Lac Des Iles Pike to her Walleye). These conditions help Lac Des Iles Pike reach 54 inches or 28 pounds, Walleye reach 12 pounds and her Jumbo Perch go over 2 pounds (we do encourage you to just take pictures of these big spawners rather than taking the fish itself, they don't taste that great when they're large and do a much better job creating fish for the future).

To find a lake as clean as Lac Des Iles you would need to drive a number of hours north, so please help keep it this way - everything you put into your boat bring back (garbage, bottles, etc) and dispose of it properly. Always use the septic services for both grey and black water and never put anything in the lake that you wouldn't eat or drink yourself.

Septic Services:

Lac Des Iles has two local septic companies that are available to empty your septic right in your site - no need for gloves, handling hoses or even moving your camper - Big Foot Septic 306 238 7637 will handle the job for you. You don't even have to be at your site - just come to the store, fill out one of their envelopes advising them of how many tanks you have, deposit their flat fee into the envelope ($35 in 2015) and head to the beach, golf course or onto our lake to catch that big one.

Water Potability:

Northern Cross Resort provides water to guests from two wells which are tested twice yearly. The well that supplies water to the cabins is potable, soft and great for making coffee. The well that supplies the shower house has a higher level of nitrates due to the proximity of trees, so although it is clean it is not suitable for infant feeding. That said, our water will be different from the water that you are used to at home and therefore may initially upset your stomach, so we do recommend that you bring water for drinking and especially for infants and young children, who are especially vulnerable to any changes in water.
